CAPABILITY

Accenture subscription services: Summary

Accenture Subscription Services can assist companies to establish crucial capabilities that will help them achieve significant scale in the subscription economy.

Overview

The Everything as a Service (XaaS) phenomenon is revolutionizing the electronics and high tech (EHT) industry. For software companies, it means refining the way they deliver and support their products to take advantage of cloud computing while competing with new Software as a Service (SaaS) players. For non-software companies with strategically important software divisions, related challenges occur. In addition, those divisions must often achieve outsized growth expectations as the new monetization model for their companies, even though they may not be experts in next generation software development, sales and operations.

As the value in technology offerings continues to shift from hardware to software and from software to software as a service, effective subscription services are rapidly becoming a strategic advantage. To capitalize on the opportunity presented by this SaaS disruption, both traditional providers and new entrants are having to:

Reorganize engineering capabilities in order to increase developmental agility while maintaining quality and predictability.

Diversify their businesses—dynamically investing in multiple business models while revamping related sales and business functions.

XaaS is more than just a new way to deliver technical capabilities, it is a major shift in the fundamental business model of the industry. XaaS allows companies to sell differently, to an expanded set of buyers, with a different value proposition – all of which much be backed up by a transformed set of commercial capabilities.

By leveraging our end-to-end business transformation capabilities and deep industry knowledge, Accenture can help companies drive top line results by generating and retaining more recurring revenues from their XaaS customers.
